Reminder
This sunday is the Dundee Thistle reliability ride will be on the 24th February 2013 and will leave from the Millenium Hall, Birkhill. Three rides are offered, 36, 54 and 70 miles.
There are definately a few COG lads going.
Have you started planning your 2013 season? The King of the Mountains Sportive from Alford is in its third year and will take you over some of Scotland’s highest passes with spectacular views. The 100km and 100 miles are not for the faint hearted but the routes will be well signed with food stops along the way.
You are being contacted in the hope that you will distribute the information to other club members, friends and colleagues. Numbers are limited so the sooner entries come in the better. Places can be secured by going here
The event is run in conjunction with Grampian Transport Museum, Alford, offering three distances, 25 miles, 100kms and 100 miles. With beautiful scenery and challenging routes what better way to spend your Saturday?
100 miles
Starting and finishing in Alford, in the foothills of the Cairngorms, the 100 mile route will take riders over the Suie, Cabrach, Lecht and Gairnsheil before returning via Queen’s View and Cushnie
100 kms
The 100 km route also starts and finishes in Alford with riders experiencing the second half of the 100 mile route
25 miles
The 25 mile event misses out the highest roads but is equally scenic and also starts and finishes in Alford.
Billed as one of the toughest sportives (100 mile distance) in the country it is worth doing if only for the breath-taking views
